Even if you didn't exercise this right in the moment, you also have the right to have an attorney present during any questioning.

What Is an Underage DWI in Minnesota?

In Minnesota, it is illegal for an individual under the age of 21 to consume or possess alcohol (unless it's in certain private settings, with parental consent). This is known as the “Not a Drop” law. Because of this, any minor who has traceable alcohol in their system while they're behind the wheel can face criminal and administrative penalties. If a minor exceeds the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC), then they could be facing DWI charges as an adult, that is, if the underage driver is 16 or older at the time they were determined to be intoxicated while driving.

Consequences of Underage DWI in Minnesota

If a juvenile is being charged under the "Not-a-Drop" rule, then their BAC is below .08, but they could still be looking at:

  • A $1,000 fine
  • 90 days in jail
  • 90 days of a suspended license

If the juvenile is being charged with driving while intoxicated, with a BAC of .08 or higher, then they could be looking at:

  • A $3,000 fine
  • 90 days to a year in jail
  • 180 days to 360 days of a suspended license

Furthermore, a minor who is convicted of an underage DWI could face difficulty getting into college or finding a job, as they will have a criminal record. If they faced DWI charges as an adult, then that conviction could follow them for decades to come.

  • “Unwavering dedication and commitment”
    I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all that Ryan has done to help me not only to win a case but also help me understand the justice system. His unwavering dedication and commitment to my defense have made a profound difference/impact in my life. Throughout the entire process, Ryan was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had, no matter how small. His patience and clarity in explaining the intricacies of the justice system in a way that made the most sense to me helped ease my anxiety and kept me informed every step of the way. In addition to keeping me in the loop, he was also very very honest about everything in and of the process. What truly stood out to me was how far he went to find the evidence we needed. He is very determined and his diligence proved to be the key to our success. He was also very professional, and compassionate about his work and finding a solution best suited for our case. I will forever be thankful for the way that he stood by me during such a challenging time. My family and I are beyond grateful for the help and kind gesture he showed us. Thank you again, Ryan, for your remarkable efforts. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had you by my side.

  • “Without hesitation, I recommend him; he was exactly the lawyer I needed.”
    I asked Alex to represent me because of his knowledge of the Dakota County courts and familiarity with the city prosecutor. Using some photos/videos of the accident scene and the fact that I had been charged under the wrong statute, he prepared a presentation to the prosecutor requesting that the charges be dismissed. The prosecutor agreed the case was weak and offered a continuation for dismissal (CFD). It was a very reasonable and long-awaited outcome and ultimately removed from my record. Alex is very patient and great at answering questions. Without hesitation, I recommend him; he was exactly the lawyer I needed.
